The experiment was carried out with the objectives to evaluate the use of morphologic descriptor in the characterization and selection of dwarf elephant grass genotypes, and to evaluate the heritability of the evaluated traits. Nine dwarf elephant grass clones were used (Taiwan A.146 – 2.14, Taiwan A.146 – 2.27, Taiwan A.146 – 2.37, Taiwan A.146 – 2.114, Merker México – 6.2, Merker México – 6.5, Merker México – 6.31, cv. Mott, and CNPGL92F198.7) was allotted to a randomized complete block […]
